Why join us?
We’re proud of our happy home and are dedicated to creating a place where everyone enjoys coming to work each day.
As well as being part of a lively and supportive team, you’ll meet fascinating residents who bring so much to our lives every day. Your kindness and support can make a real difference to residents and their families.
About the role
As a Care Assistant, you’ll support residents with their personal care and everyday needs, helping them feel comfortable, safe and at home. You’ll get to know each resident’s preferences and provide thoughtful, respectful support that promotes their independence and wellbeing. Here are some other important things you need to know:
You’ll support residents with bathing, dressing, eating, using the bathroom and moving around, while respecting their dignity and choices.
You’ll follow each resident’s care plan and promptly share any changes in their physical or emotional wellbeing with the appropriate team member.
You’ll help residents take part in activities and enjoy daily life in the home.
You’ll help keep residents’ rooms and shared areas clean, tidy and safe.
You’ll maintain accurate records and follow the home’s health, safety and infection prevention procedures.
You’ll work closely with colleagues to provide consistent, person-centred care.
Exceptional people make an exceptional care home
We’re looking for someone with a caring nature who enjoys helping others and working as part of a team. A positive attitude, good communication skills and a willingness to learn will help you thrive. Previous care experience or qualifications are helpful, but full training and support can be provided.
We value people who care about residents’ comfort and happiness, treat everyone with kindness and respect, and want to make a positive difference to the lives of residents and colleagues.
